Whiffing

photo credit: ttarasiuk Whiffing (missing) your ball on the first tee, is about the most humiliating experience in the game of golf. Its happened to everyone at one time or another as beginners. Miss the ball and its a one stroke penalty.
Now, let's presume you hit a beautiful 285 yard drive down the right or left side of the fairway and it trickles out of bounds. For just a few inches of error or perhaps, just bad luck, you receive a penalty of one stroke and distance (tee it up and hit the shot again).
The rules of golf leave many players bewildered. I would venture to guess that golf has more rules than any other sport. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong?
